2 Chronicles 20:12 O our God, will you not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do… Sir Fowell Buxton, who shared with Wilberforce the labours which secured the emancipation of the slaves in the West Indies, ascribed their triumph directly to the power of prayer. Writing to his daughter when all was over, he said, "I firmly believe that prayer was the cause of that division" (vote in the House of Commons}. "You know how we waited upon God for guidance, with these words in our hearts, 'O our God, we have no might against this great company that cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon Thee'; and the answer, 'Ye shall not need to fight in this battle; stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.' You will find the whole story in 2 Chronicles 20. Turn to my Bible; it will open of itself to the place. We had no preconceived plan; the course we took appeared to be the right one, and we followed it blindly." Parallel Verses KJV: O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. |
